Kids sucked naphthalene ball

Question

Asked for Male, 1 Years

My kid 16 months old took naphthalene ball in his mouth. It would have been in there for approx 30 seconds to 1 minute. As soon as we realised that he had something in his mouth we check and took out the ball. It was in one piece only. There are no odd symptoms but I am worried if I should do something. Please suggest.
